Search supported by Mercosul, hampered by currents

Search teams continued to look for the missing nine crew members of a sunken tug on the Amazonas. Mercosul was currently helping the search operation with equipment to find the sunken tug. From the outset, the search has been hampered by the very strong currents that flowed along the Amazon River during this season, along with the water depth at the site of approx. 45 meters which have made the work difficult for the local rescue teams and the Brazilian navy.
